About

Thanks for stopping by. Read below to learn more about myself and my background.

Background

Hi, I’m Mus. 👋

I write clean code, connect complex systems, and translate 'tech-speak' into plain human language.

With a background in Technical Project Management and 4 years of backend adventures (Node.js, Python, AWS) in the Fintech and Insurtech worlds, I act as the bridge between big business ideas and solid technical reality.

Recently, I completed my toughest project yet: successfully integrating into Germany and mastering Deutsch (B2+ unlocked! 🔓). Now, I’m ready for my next big challenge!

Education

B.A. Translation and Interpretation (English)
Hacettepe University, Ankara | 2009 – 2013

Plot twist: I actually started my career translating human languages. Today, I translate complex business requirements into Node.js and Python. At the end of the day, it's all just syntax, context, and logic!


M.S. Asian Studies (Coursework)
Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ), Ankara | 2015 – 2016

Satisfying my deep curiosity about different cultures, histories, and systems. (This is also the era that eventually connected me to Indonesia, giving me the nickname 'Mus'!).
